FAUCET Score

CVE-2014-0206 describes an array index error in the aio_read_events_ring function within the Linux kernel (through version 3.15.1). This vulnerability allows a local attacker to potentially extract sensitive information from kernel memory by manipulating a large "head" value. With a CVSS score of 2.1 (low severity) and an attack vector requiring local access with low complexity, the primary impact is a partial loss of confidentiality. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage, indicating a low current threat level.
